An attempt was made to detect human papillomavirus (HPV) in 8 cases of oral papilloma by Southern blot hybridization. HPV type 6 was identified in a case of tonsillar condyloma acuminatum, but neither HPV type 6 nor 11 was found in the 7 other cases of squamous papilloma. The hybridization pattern of the HPV type 6 DNA after digestion with restriction enzymes revealed that the HPV was of the 6f...

The Buschke-Lowenstein tumor (BLT) is a slow-growing, locally destructive verrucous plaque that typically appears on the penis but may occur elsewhere in the anogenital region. It most commonly is considered to be a regional variant of verrucous carcinoma. It is rare but accounts for 5-24% of all penile cancers. It can also affect the perineum and other portions of the genitalia. It was first d...

The human papillomavirus (HPV) has long been associated with the development of penile lesions-condyloma acuminatum and verrucous carcinoma of the penis. More recently, HPV has been implicated as an etiology of more serious neoplasias in men-penile carcinoma and other anogenital squamous-cell carcinomas. HPV is now widely recognized as responsible for more than 95% of cervical cancers in women....

Introduction: Infections are frequent in childhood-systemic lupus erythematosus (C-SLE) patients, inclu ding human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infection may cause genital and anal warts named condyloma acuminatum (CA). To our knowledge, none case was reported and the prevalence of CA in C-SLE population was not performed. Case Reports: From January 1983 to May 2012, 5,682 patients were followed a...

Anal warts are, from an aetiological point of view, a diverse category of lesions including condylomata acuminata, fibroepithelial polyps and seborrhoeic keratosis. Human papillomavirus induced anal warts, in contrast to other types of warts, are contagious and not infrequently sexually transmitted, they therefore need to be accurately identified. A total of 24 anal warts were randomly collecte...

Anogenital warts are an infectious disorder of the anogenital lesion caused by one or more human papilloma viruses. Verruca is commonly treated with freezing with liquid nitrogen, laser therapy or application of imiquimod. Such ablative treatment may cause pain and scars on the anogenital lesion. We herein report an infant case of anogenital wart which was successfully treated with a topical vi...

Patients and clinicians experience the frustration of cutaneous viral warts caused by infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV).Warts appear in various forms on different sites of the body and include common warts (verruca vulgaris), plane or flat warts, myrmecia, plantar warts, coalesced mosaic warts, filiform warts,periungual warts, anogenital warts (venereal or condyloma acuminata), ora...

Giant condyloma acuminatum (BuschkeeLöwenstein tumor) is a rare sexually transmitted disease caused by human papilloma virus infection in the anogenital area. It is characterized by rapid growth, large size, local destruction, lack of spontaneous resolution, poor response to conservative therapy (e.g., cryotherapy), and a high recurrence rate. Treatment of such tumors remains challenging. We re...

CONDYLOMA ACUMINATUM is a common lesion of the anorectal and urogenital regions. Various methods have been utilized for treatment of anal condylolna acumina, tum, bu,t none has been uniformly and consistently curative; therefore, the recurrence ra,te is extremely high. This report describes the use of immunotherapy in the treatment of anal condyloma acuminatum with excellent results and a low r...

ETIOLOGY — Condyloma acuminatum is caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. HPV encompasses a family of highly infectious and primarily sexually transmitted double-stranded DNA viruses. The incubation period after exposure ranges from three weeks to eight months. Most infections are transient and cleared within two years [2]. Persistent infections in the setting of other clinical risk f...
